Healthier to microwave cook meats, which done with the
right technique (boneless, 3/4-1 lb, < 1 in thick, spices), and is
done
quickly and turns out terrific.

What I mostly eat now:

Meats - chicken breast, chicken thighs, porkloin, ribeye, sirloin,
       red snapper
Veggies - carrots, celery, onions, green pepper, cucumber, squash
Fruits - (when I eat them, not every week): peaches, blueberries,
oranges
Nuts - (not often)
Eggs - (none)

Now of course "variety" and "quantity" are not quite the same thing.
